12 Tags of 2016-October

Hello, again! this is my second post for today! Making up for lost time! I finally finished my October tag for Tim Holtz' 12 Tags of 2016-October Technique Remix--this month's was a whopper, and I'm not completely satisfied with my results. But here goes...

I pretty much followed Tim's instructions to the letter, and even had a few of the products on hand! You can see Tim's creepy, but extremely well executed tag here. The uber talented Anne of Redanne came to my rescue on the Zombie! Thank you, Anne, for your generous gift! She saw a comment I left on Tim's blog mentioning I didn't have the die and sent me several sets! Perfect! I used a little of each of the different colors and embossed Zombie sets she sent to make my one crazy mixed up Zombie.

I have used Tim's Crazing medium before, but never got the results like I did this time, thanks to his great tip to judge if you have enough on the tag.

Isn't it yummy? I also loved Tim's tip on how to use that splatter brush of his! Usually I end up with paint everywhere except where I want it! This time, it's splatter perfection, and not a drop on me!

You are very welcome Sara! You certainly achieved brilliant results with the crazing, it looks fantastic, as does the splattering. The spider in the zombie's eye makes him look even more menacing.... love it!!

Whilst I am here, thanks so much for adding this to our 'Make it Spooky' challenge at A Vintage Journey too! Hugs, Anne xx

Wow, Sara, your tag is a pure perfection with so many fabulously turned out techniques! It's spooky, grunge and awesome! That spider in the eye is such a genius idea! I absolutely adore your version of Tim's tag! Bravo, my friend! Big hugs to you! Branka xx

What a nice gesture, Sara, for her to send you those! People are so kind in the crafting community! Love your steampunk zombie! At first I thought it was a steampunk skull, but I can see that zombie is a more fitting description! LOL Fun and artistic, your sentiments are rather insightful - whether it be literally for Halloween, or any time we take a first step into a new adventure, not knowing how it will turn out - it is scary, and it does waken the soul! Thanks for your inspiration! hugs, de

Oh my goodness, Sara Emily, what a perfect take on Tim's tag!! I love the zombie!! He looks amazing!! I love how you embossed his hair and creeped up the eyeball and scars!! The crazing is fabulous!! All of the details are just amazing!! It's creepy and grungy and spectacular!! Love, love it!! Thank you so much for playing along at Scrapy Land!! Have a great weekend my friend!! Big hugs :)

This is awesome Sara Emily. Yeah ... you are one sick chick (love the spider in the eye socket!). Your collage background is fantastic with that crackle finish. That was a helpful hint! One of my faves!!!!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween! Mary Elizabeth

Sara Emily, I do love this! You did an amazing job and I love how you tucked that spider into the eye socket and how those eyes are ooey and gooey - ewwwww!!! I finished mine but need to post them, but had the same experience as you with the crazing - worked like a charm with Tim's tip. I didn't try his tip with the splatter brush, but since you said it worked, I'll be brave next time. I love how you used different colors together - I do love how you used the tiny attacher around the guy at the top. Awesome job, Sara Emily!!!

Gorgeous tags and love the techniques. Thank you for sharing your beautiful tags with us at Let's Craft and Create and can't wait to see your next gorgeous cards or projects such as you tags with us soon. Hugs Nancy Hill, Design Team for Let's Craft and Create.

This is an eclectic mix of gorey goodness! That spider in the eye is genius and the crazing is awesome sauce. What a wonderful take on the tag and this is so much better than the original. Anne is so very sweet to send these goodies! Spooktacular details and design dearie! Hugz to you muffin! ~Punkin
